[quote=Anonymous]Another Burgundy PP here, but one who definitely thinks the lack of differentiation is a bug, not least because Burgundy pitches itself as offering differentiated instruction.

I take the PP's point that social skills matter, especially in the early years, but I am not coming at this from the "please offer my kid advanced calculus" perspective. Instead, I am coming at it from the "my kid is smart but has a mild LD, please considering some small adjustments in homework loads and in  the presentation of material."

Burgundy really can't do this. Some individual teachers were wonderful and worked with us to figure out how to help DC learn most effectively; other teachers meant will but did not follow through or just lacked the ability to do it; a few (language teacher) were outright resistant even to very minor accommodations that are standard at most schools. It was very frustrating.

Burgundy is a wonderful school in many ways, but if you are considering it, be aware that because of its size, it is very much one-siz-fits-most. If you kid is not "most," you should consider looking elsewhere.
